Freedom

Well today is the Fourth of July and in the United States we equate this day with freedom and how lucky we are to have it.

Freedom however is a state of being and their are people in this world who may not appear to enjoy the freedom that we have here and yet inside they experience a different kind of freedom. They are free from fear and expectations. They are still free to have their own thoughts even though a government may tell them otherwise.

Freedom is not always determined by the outside package and we know that when we here of people who have over come years of imprisonment only to emerge feeling that somehow their lives are the better for it.

Freedom is a gift but we can still have it in the most dire of circumstances if that is what we choose.
